[QUOTE="N4HHE, post: 1345725, member: 89143"] None expected. Its just that I was surprised this tire failed. Hauled dirtbikes 250 miles the prior week. Fortunately failed at only 62 MPH (track log on GPS). Considering the 2 tires on the ground and spare were same age I decided it best not to try to risk 325 miles without spare, and finding a 13" trailer tire or two in local shops is sort of difficult. My Yamaha dealer had two on the showroom floor complete with new wheel, only $189 each. Three new tires from Sam's Club arrived today, $140 delivered. Plus another $10 for metal valve stems. Will mount them soon and haul wheels to Sam's for $3.88/wheel balancing. Thats cheap and I like my trailer to roll smoothly. Should be in good shape for years to come. Not an hour before the tire failed I verified 50 PSI and checked for cracks, cuts, or punctures. And checked the wheel bearings tight and turning smoothly.
